Just saw a DeLorean heading west on the D.C. Beltway. Anybody here?

[axh174]

Was on my way home today when I was passed by a DeLorean. It was around 6:30PM today heading west on the D.C. Beltway (I-495), just past the I-95 exit. We traveled the same path up I-270 until I hit my exit. It had lowered suspension, black side stripe, third corvette-style brake light on top of the louvres, and the “DeLorean” bumper logo lit up in red. Was that anybody on here?

I tried to come up alongside and wave, but was cut off by a black mustang and a yellow corvette who both waved.

I've only read about one car like that -- Christian Dietrich's. Second post here:

There are some build pics floating around here too.

Looks super sharp!

There is one other D that has red illuminated bumper logos but Christian drives his almost daily so it was probably him.

Did you by any chance notice his face ablaze in a dangerous blue light? Was he gazing into the abyss as if looking into the very face of his own morality?

I did happen to notice a blue light emanating from within the car. In my efforts to come up alongside, I was able to tell its driver was grinning like a devil and it looked like he was sporting a manly beard.

Based on the link bueller provided, I’m positive it was Christian Dietrich’s. What’s kind of custom stuff does he have “under the hood”? He went screaming down the road with what looked like more power than 2234 has ever had.

I'm always amused by the diametric relationship between threads about people acting poorly in traffic around them because the poster is driving a Delorean, and threads about posters acting poorly in traffic so they can see a Delorean.

Christians DMC has a DPI Spec 1 exhaust with custom cold air intake. His next project is adding performance cams.

Yep that was me heading home from work back to West Virginia. I work at Metro in New Carrollton and yes I daily this car quite a bit to work from where I live. Its exaclty 182 miles a day. Yeah i was feeling pretty cocky running with the Vette, Mustang and there was also a black SRT Challenger Scat Pack. They all waved and gave a thunbs up so I figure I'd join them in there fun zig zagging around! I dont normally do that but I like to show that a DeLorean can do its best to run with the big dogs!

Stupid text predict. I wanted to say mortality not morality. Everyone knows anyone who takes a Dremel to his bumper has no morals!

What did he have for lunch? (Lunch is that meal you eat in between 4 hour+ work shifts)
